Water Dropper

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Green and brown ceramic vessel in the shape of a water dropper in the form of a chicken with a smaller chicken on its side. The vessel has a small opening on its back and a spout on its underside. The larger chicken has a distinctive comb on top of its head, and both chickens have small eyes and beak-like features. The vessel appears to be made of ceramic material with a weathered, aged appearance and a greenish-brown glaze. The background of the image is off-white. Water Dropper, Chinese artist.
